ADE Green

With over 450,000 visitors, Amsterdam Dance Event  (ADE) is the global meeting place for the creative industry around electronic music every year. That’s why, together with ADE, Nachtlab Agency, partners, and ambassadors, we organize ADE Green – the conference that sparks and strengthens sustainability and social change within the music and events industry. The first edition took place in 2013 – since then, the conference has grown to be the largest of its kind and sells out annually. In recent years, our stage has hosted speakers such as Marianne Goodell (CEO of Burning Man), Nadya Tolokonnikova (Pussy Riot), Michael Lang (Founder of Woodstock ’69), Duncan Stutterheim (Founder of ID&T), Artur Mendes (Co-director of Boom), Polly Higgins (Advocate for the Earth, Ecocide), Kumi Naidoo (Director of Greenpeace International), and artists like Darwin, Eli Goldstein, Jayda G, Juba, Laidback Luke, and Seth Troxler.
